A small coin this 17,7 mm and less than 2 grams of silver

Minted in fairly large numbers.
This example shows little wear imho.
The dies was very worn, diecracks can be seen
At 6 and 2 oclock on the reverse, and in other places.
The edges of the dies also very worn as can be seen
Clearly at 12 oclock. Nice luster

Most of the things you mention do not affect the very nice portrait, or the very clear center of the reverse. Nice!

Thank you all. Yes tdziemia that is true neither affect grading.
Here is a ms66 graded one that show the same worn edges (not mine)
Also a crack on the right edge of shield of my ex and on the crown and one next to neck on obverse, hard to se. The dies must have been falling apart

big fan of swedish coins here, especially the older issues.
i hope you post more.
my collection of these is small, but growing.
i live a half hour from where the kalmar nyckel landed.
now and then some great coins from sweden show up at local auctions.

Thank you, yes New Sweden, she actually made the trip over the atlantic 4 times, not many ships made it so many times.
She was later sold to the dutch and sunk in a battle if I remeber correctly

Sadly no plate money, they are scarce but interesting. Sweden had so much copper and iron hence the big plate money
